I'm Tammy, a California girl and San Diego is my home. The beach makes me smile, my husband does too. I live for adventure, have a tendency to get antsy if I don't exercise almost every day, and well, I just want to help make the world a better place. Want to know more? Click here

I blog at about inspiring things and sell my handmade totes, clutches and wristlets.And I'm here to talk about cooking. Why? Because Tammy just recently admitted that she has never made soup. And as a fanatical soup lover, I thought that it was a terrible, awful thing that she had never done it.Not only is soup delicious-- it's really easy to make. Really easy.

So I'm sharing a SUPER simple recipe with her and you guys, her readers, while she enjoys the beaches of Mexico.

directions1. Peel and dice your sweet potatoes and place them and the carrots on a cooking sheet. Drizzle with 1 table spoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Set aside.2. Heat remaining olive oil in large pot on medium high. Add sliced onion and cook until translucent.3. Add diced garlic, cumin and celery. Stir while cooking for 1 minute.4. Add roasted carrots and potatoes. Cook for 4 minutes.5. Add broth and water. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat and cook on medium low until carrots and potatoes are tender.6. Using an immersion blender or in batches using a blender, puree the soup. The husband doesn't like perfectly smooth soups, so I usually leave a few chunks. Feel free to do the same.7. Stir in quinoa and tapatio sauce.8. Top with crumbled bacon.Serve with parmesan cheese toast. Delish.
